The recorded review on 1 October 2026 did not confirm a 2027 notice for PKU’s ordinary international undergraduate or graduate routes; the specific 2026 application windows below have closed. The most recent published windows are the 2026 cycle: graduate (master's and doctoral) self-funded applications ran from 20 October 2025 to 23 December 2025 Beijing time; the undergraduate entrance-examination route ran from 12:00 on 1 January 2026 to 23:59 on 28 February 2026; the undergraduate no-written-examination route ran in two batches, 19 December 2025 to 28 February 2026 and 12 June 2026 to 10 July 2026; and the Boya Overseas Talent Plan ran from 19 December 2025 to 28 February 2026. All of those have closed. The 2026 graduate scholarship notice published on 12 January 2026 set the Peking University online scholarship application (covering the Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program, the Peking University International Student Scholarship and the Beijing Government Scholarship in one application) at 09:00 Beijing time on 9 March 2026 and the China Scholarship Council application at 24:00 Beijing time on 17 March 2026; that round has closed. The Yenching Academy official site explicitly lists the China Studies master's 2027 intake as open, with applications due by 09:00 Beijing time on 30 November 2026. This is a separate programme from PKU's ordinary graduate admissions. The university's own 招生简介 page describes the general pattern as applications in autumn and winter each year with second-round examinations in the following spring; that is a pattern statement, not a published 2027 window. The CNY 800 application fee is supported only for the cited prior-cycle routes and should be reconfirmed for the selected programme. The conflicting accommodation figures cannot be reconciled by the current general notice; no single housing price is confirmed here. Undergraduate and general graduate tuition for the 2026/2027 cycle is stated only as 待批复后另行通知 (pending approval, to be announced separately); the older published per-year baseline on the 学费及相关规定 page dates from 26 December 2019. Peking University's institution code for the CSC Type B High-Level Graduate Program is 10001, printed in the university's own 12 January 2026 scholarship notice. The CNY 800 application fee is documented for specified prior-cycle routes and should be reconfirmed for the selected programme. The general notice does not resolve the accommodation-price difference; no single housing rate is confirmed here.
For Peking University, refer to the current official admissions notice for opening and closing dates by program and intake. Dates from a previous intake should not be used as the next intake's deadline. Directory-wide opening checks were last completed September 14, 2026.
Fee note: Per program; maximum of 2 program applications. Re-verified July 5, 2026.
